Tomatillo Salsa Recipe

Adjust the heat of this quick but tasty salsa by varying the quantity of jalapeno pepper. Can be made by hand by finely chopping all ingredients and mashing them together. Can be doubled or tripled if desired.

Husk and rinse the tomatillos to remove the sticky covering. Heat a heavy skillet. Cut tomatillos in half and place in skillet, cut side down, until they begin to char a bit ( you can skip this step if time is short, but it does add a nice flavor).

Put tomatillos in food processor and pulse a few times. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to a coarse puree. Taste to see if more salt, sugar or jalapeno is needed. (If adding jalapeno at this point, chop fairly fine before adding to processor.)
